Global Perspectives on Migration And Development

This volume is the first in a new Springer series to examine one of humanity's most pressing concerns: global migration and its implications for development.

This volume presents a variety of perspectives and reflections from social work theories and practice on how to manage, lead and organize social work in different parts of the world. The book addresses students, politicians, lecturers and researchers, practitioners, users, relatives and others who are interested in social work and want to improve their understanding of social work leadership and organization from an international perspective.

This Handbook provides a comprehensive statement and reference point for local and regional development. The scope of this book’s coverage and contributions engages with and reflects upon the politics and policy of how we think about and practise local and regional development, encouraging dialogue across the disciplinary barriers between notions of ‘local and regional development’ in the Global North and ‘development studies’ in the Global South.
